    Come on man. Harden was just about all we had for the majority of the game. Yes the bench played well for the first 6 minutes of the 4th, but they were hot garbage the first 3 quarters.

    I'm not overreacting. I'm pissed.

    I'm pissed that STILL in 2017 NBA officials can't call games well at the end of important contests.

    For some reason whenever the Rockets build a big lead in the 1st qtr... I get tense because they usually crash & burn in the 4th qtr.

    Against playoff defenses, D'Antoni just gotta improve our offense. We gotta run more and better plays that involve better players like Gordon, Williams. Run something for a clean 1on1 of Harden near the basket, specially against Green. ...
    MDA has been right at his biggest bets with the team, nailed it with the philosophy, but must do a better job at creating a more advanced offense that will be required at playoffs.

    Screw out bench. Cost us our biggest win of the season and slingshotted Kawhi for MVP

    Can we open up the money to sign Gordon Hayward in the offseason? That dude on the wing instead of Ariza would make us unstoppable on offense.

    Again....Watch the replay. Should have been an 8 second violation. Ball inbounded with 10.6 seconds on the clock. Aldridge catches ball in front court @2.2 seconds. Should have been rockets ball with 2.6 secs left.

    Just stop... seriously.

    We get it that you love the whole tough two way player thing. All your arguements consist of "Lets ignore these stats, but focus on those". You can't.

    Hardens turnovers go with the 39 and 13.

    Then if you even try to compare the turnovers between Leonard and Harden and use that as an arguement then I've lost faith in ever responding to another message.

    Everyone relax. Everyone ripping on harden when very little help came from anyone else. Our other guys had a very poor night and the refs boned us down the stretch. It's ok, they can't do that in the playoffs when it's nationally televised

    Man this is so true, he shuffles his feet so often.

    Look folks I get that you LOVE Harden, I do too, but he has got to get better if we are EVER going to contend.

    Right now, he still has work to do, especially on Defense and his turnovers need to come down just a little bit, more like he needs to know when to play a little more cautious with the ball, there was one pass to Capela and he was guarded by 3 guys in the paint, it was a WTF was that moment.....should have never been thrown, then another one right to Danny Green - Harden is a GREAT player, but if we are going to contend, he has to get better.

    Rockets were 3.5 underdogs.... they lost by two. It was too obvious how they didn't call the foul in the end was the worst piece of garbge i've ever seen

    Kawhi Leonard is probably a borderline top 10 offensive player statistically. He's a decent scorer but not as good as the true elites like Beard, Russ, Durant, Curry, LeBron. And obviously, he's not as good a passer.

    Sorry but you can't make the MVP - I don't care how good his defense is.

    The Spurs mentally own this team. We collapse on a consistent basis.

    I was thinking the same thing, like wow the ball is still in the backcourt.

    I agree. But it's encouraging that the Rockets with all there mistakes still were in the game till the very end. To me this game proved that the Rockets are legit contenders.

    Can't forget that he only had 2 other teammates that came ready to play.

    Beverley and Nene.
